Chapter 57 - Meeting A Bi
Hearing the words of the Yue Lao San and Yun Zhonghe, Jiu Mozhi was also dumbfounded. He finally understood why Ling Xiao was not surprised at all by the appearance of these two.
"Sect Master Ling, are these two really your disciples?" After all, the Four Great Evildoers' names were notoriously notorious. Who knew how many seniors had advised them to be so kind, but no one had ever succeeded?
But if Jiu Mozhi knew what method Ling Xiao used, he wouldn't be so shocked, and would even sympathize with the two of them.
Ling Xiao glanced at Jiu Mozhi, and said indifferently: "Otherwise, do you think that the two of them are people who call others Master?"
Jiu Mozhi obediently closed his mouth and stepped aside.
"Jiu Mozhi is currently not considered my disciple. Let's talk about it after he has passed the test. What, you guys want a junior so quickly?" Ling Xiao looked at Yue Lao San and Yun Zhonghe and asked.
The two sinners looked at each other and smiled, then scratched their heads in embarrassment.
"Master, where are we going now?" Yue Lao San asked.
However, Yun Zhonghe summoned up his courage and said: "Master, please bring us along next time as well. Otherwise, it's too boring, there's nothing going on outside."
After Ling Xiao heard this, he pondered for a moment, then nodded his head: "Alright, I will bring the two of you along next time, but both of you have to be careful not to cause trouble for me, if you violate this, then you will have to bear the consequences."
Hearing this, Yun Zhonghe and Yue Lao San both nodded their heads happily, indicating that they would definitely not disappoint Ling Xiao.
Seeing the two of them bowing and scraping with respectful expressions, Jiu Mozhi finally believed in their loyalty to Ling Xiao. They were truly Ling Xiao's disciples, too.
"Alright, let's prepare for our journey. This time, let Jiu Mozhi lead the way, they will bring us to the Mu Rong family." Ling Xiao said.
"What? Mu Rong Mansion?" What are we doing there? " Yue Lao San asked in confusion. Mu Rong family still had a certain position in the Jianghu.
"Of course it's to solve the problem. Do you have a problem with that?" Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked.
Seeing Ling Xiao's expression, Yue Lao San immediately went to lead the horse.
On the road, Ling Xiao was riding leisurely, enjoying the scenery around him.
On the other hand, Jiu Mozhi took the initiative to chat with Yue Lao San and the others.
"So you are all Ling Xiao's disciples?" Jiu Mozhi asked.
Yun Zhonghe and the other two nodded, they were even a little proud because they realized that Ling Xiao was too powerful. No matter what happened, it would all be perfectly resolved in his hands.
"If you want to become the Master's disciple, you better understand, you will be the youngest junior brother." Yun Zhonghe said while beaming, because as long as Jiu Mozhi came, he would no longer need to be the little junior brother.
"Alright, I can't do anything even if I come late. But, which one of you is Eldest Brother?" Jiu Mozhi said helplessly.
When the Yue Lao San and Yun Zhonghe heard this, they sighed and did not speak, while Duan Yu proudly straightened his back.
"So it's Gongzi Duan. He's also the most prideful disciple that is able to receive personal guidance from Sect Master Ling in learning the six-veined divine sword." Jiu Mozhi cupped his fists and said.
Hearing this, Yue Lao San and Yun Zhonghe immediately became unhappy, "Why did Master teach you? You are clearly the dumbest one who doesn't know how to practice martial arts."
Hearing this, Duan Yu said somewhat complacently: "It's probably because Master thinks that I'm more obedient, unlike you guys who have a belly full of evil tricks."
Towards this answer, Yue Lao San and Yun Zhonghe both snorted coldly, but did not reply, thus the situation became awkward, and upon seeing this, Jiu Mozhi could only silently move to the side.
The Murong Manor was not far away, but with the speed of Ling Xiao and the rest, they would only arrive the next morning.
"Sect Master Ling, the Mu Rong family is in the valley ahead." Jiu Mozhi said as he pointed in a direction.
Ling Xiao nodded and said: "Mn, then let's go in. Could it be that there is something in the valley that we should still pay attention to?"
Jiu Mozhi shook his head: "Then what about it, I'm just informing him."
"Continue to lead the way. After this matter is resolved, I still have some important matters to attend to." Ling Xiao said blandly. All along the way, he had been thinking about the rebellion faction. Because there were too many details, Ling Xiao had thought about it along the way and did not participate in their conversation.
The valley's scenery was captivating and the environment beautiful. Even Ling Xiao could not help but exclaim: "Mu Rong family would definitely enjoy living in such a relaxed and comfortable place."
"The Mu Rong family was once an imperial family, however, it was destroyed later on, but its heritage cannot be underestimated." Jiu Mozhi said.
As the two of them were talking, they noticed a girl walking over from the road. She seemed to be carrying a basket on her back, as if she was going to pick something.
Originally, no one minded, but when he got closer, Ling Xiao noticed that something was amiss.
The clothes this little girl was wearing were extremely expensive and luxurious. It was definitely not something that an ordinary family would have. It was likely that she had an extraordinary background.
Therefore, Ling Xiao stopped the young lady and asked: "Excuse me, where is this young lady from?"
Hearing that, the little girl raised her head and saw Ling Xiao's handsome face. Her eyes immediately lit up, but she still greeted him politely.
Ling Xiao recognized this etiquette, it was extremely dignified and noble and was not something an ordinary person would be able to learn.
"This Gongzi is a servant named A Bi, he is a servant girl from Mu Rong family. May I know what business do you have in the valley?" A Bi replied.
Hearing this answer, Ling Xiao was not too surprised, he nodded and said: "This is just a coincidence, we are just about to visit the Mu Rong family, can you lead the way for us?"
At this time, A Bi raised her head and carefully sized up everyone, she then stopped on Jiu Mozhi's face, and clearly saw through the change in her expression.
"So it's a guest from far away from the Mu Rong family. Welcome, I'll bring you guys there." A Bi retracted his gaze, and smiled at Ling Xiao.
If that was true, then in the past, Jiu Mozhi had definitely went to the Mu Rong family, so A Bi's expression when she saw Jiu Mozhi, could be understood.
But seeing that A Bi agreed so decisively, there must be something fishy going on. Although Ling Xiao saw through it, he did not reveal it, and he also wanted to see where A Bi was going to take them.
"That's great. May I ask how far away you are from here? If it's far, Lady A Bi can mount the horse at any time. Ling Xiao smiled.
Hearing that, A Bi's face changed, but she quickly shook her head and said, "It's not far, about in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea."
